2-Day Duiker: Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater

Best safari in Tanzania for those who want to see the maximum number of animals in a short time. First, you will visit Lake Manyara - a magnificent park known for its diverse birdlife and the unique forest views along the trail where your safari will take place. It is especially exciting to observe the colonies of pink flamingos, which, during certain seasons, may flock here to nest. They stretch across the lake's surface like a narrow strip of sea foam on the horizon, leaving an unforgettable impression. Ngorongoro hardly needs an introduction - the crater is included in almost all safari programs, being one of the most picturesque and densely populated animal parks with its unique ecosystem.

- Moshi and Arusha-based accommodations usually include breakfast only, unless requested and agreed otherwise. Please refer to the program to see your meal plans on each night
- Most safari lodges usually do not include tea, coffee, soft and alcoholic drinks not to have you overpay for beverages you don't need. You will be able to order and pay for drinks at the hotels' restaurants
- Tented lodges are the most common type of accommodation in savannah. Many of them work on solar energy. This sometimes means bucket showers, limited wi-fi and no hair dryers, all in an effort to reduce environmental impact. We encourage you to do some basic research on the accommodations in your program to ensure the safari matches your travel style
